Chapter 1009 1008 When Talents Meet

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1008: When Talents Meet Chapter 1009: Chapter 1008: When Talents Meet Boom!

Another opponent was defeated by Fang Lin, with hardly any resistance; even as a first-level Spirit Bone, they were no match for Fang Lin.

Yet Fang Lin felt no joy in his victories, even though his name had already entered the top fifty; he had not encountered the opponent he had been hoping to meet.

However, the people within Sea Moon City were astounded by Fang Lin’s show of strength.

For this was the fifth opponent Fang Lin had defeated, and what’s more, a Spirit Bone realm Talent.

Fang Lin was merely at the eighth level of Spirit Vein, yet he possessed the strength to battle against those of the Spirit Bone level, a fact that couldn’t help but amaze everyone.

“Fang Lin has firmly entered the top fifty. If we’re talking about the number of victories, he’s completely on par with Jian Qingshan and the others,” someone remarked.

“Indeed quite impressive, being merely at the eighth level of Spirit Vein and yet able to defeat one of the Spirit Bone,” another added.

“However, the strength he has shown so far, while not bad, still can’t be considered top-notch.”

“Compared to Jian Qingshan, Shen Fan and the others, he’s definitely weaker.”

“Maybe he’s holding back on purpose; perhaps he hasn’t shown all his moves yet,” someone speculated.

“Unlikely, I’m afraid what we’ve seen is all he’s got,” another countered.

“Let’s see if he’ll encounter Jian Qingshan, Shen Fan, and those folks next.”

“If he does, we’ll be able to tell whether Fang Lin can really compete with them.”

…

Fang Lin walked down from the high platform expressionlessly, only to see Prince Yin Xinghe of Qing Nation approaching with two attendants.

“Fang Lin, I want to know how Miss Dugu is faring?” Prince Yin Xinghe began, his demeanor lacking any semblance of warmth.

Fang Lin didn’t even spare him a glance as he walked past Prince Yin Xinghe, blatantly ignoring his presence.

Prince Yin Xinghe’s expression darkened, and his two attendants immediately blocked Fang Lin’s path.

The crowd around them all turned to look, moving back a bit, not wanting to get caught up in whatever was about to happen.

“The Prince is speaking to you. Why don’t you reply?” one of the attendants asked coldly.

Fang Lin’s expression remained indifferent: “I have no obligation to answer you.”

Prince Yin Xinghe snorted, “I was merely expressing my concern for Miss Dugu, no other intentions. Yet you seem to hold a great deal of hostility toward me.”

Fang Lin, with an impatient look on his face, left without further ado.

The attendants moved as if to stop him, but Prince Yin Xinghe waved them away, letting Fang Lin go.

“A woman that this prince has set his sights on will not get away so easily,” Prince Yin Xinghe said with a faint smile.

Fang Lin returned to the Pill Alliance branch and reported his victory over his opponent to Dugu Nian.

In fact, there was no need for Fang Lin to report in person; someone would naturally inform Dugu Nian of the result immediately.

After paying a visit to Dugu Nian, Fang Lin continued to watch the battles and happened to witness a rather spectacular scene.

Prince Yin Xinghe was actually facing off against Jian Qingshan!

Such a matchup sent the entire Sea Moon City into an unprecedented frenzy.

Even if there had been other impressive matches before, none had sparked as much anticipation as this particular battle.

Both Prince Yin Xinghe and Jian Qingshan were among the most outstanding of the many Talents in Sea Moon City this time, regarded by many as one of the strongest few.

And now, these two people were actually pitted against each other, and it was certain that a victor would be determined. Who would win and who would lose was of great significance.

This was not just a competition between two great talents, but also a contest of which country’s martial artists were stronger—the ones from Qing Nation or those from Tang Country.

Neither the martial artists of Qing Nation nor those of Tang Country wanted to see the national pride of their own country defeated.

But now that they were facing each other, the outcome had to be decided.

In the VIP stand, the Pingbei King’s expression was one of anticipation, while Meng Haiwen looked visibly nervous and worried.

Although he had great confidence in Ying Xinghe, his opponent this time was not to be underestimated. In particular, Jian Qingshan had shown overwhelming might in his previous appearances. Apart from Liu Fengqu of the Cangyun Sect, there weren’t many who could trouble Jian Qingshan.

Ying Xinghe facing off against Jian Qingshan was almost a battle of equals, utterly unpredictable as to who would come out on top.

“Prince, who do you fancy will win?” Ye Mengxian spoke up and asked.

“Ye, that question is quite superfluous,” replied the Pingbei King.

Ye Mengxian cracked a slight smile, “Indeed, the Prince naturally favors Jian Qingshan. I also feel that Jian Qingshan has a slightly better chance.”

Meng Haiwen, sitting beside, did not appreciate these words. Why should Jian Qingshan have a better chance? Clearly, our magnificent and divine Prince Yin Xinghe stood a better chance, didn’t he?

Meng Haiwen immediately responded, “Prince Yin Xinghe’s strength is not inferior to Jian Qingshan’s. Who wins and who loses is still up in the air.”

Suddenly, the usually reticent Tuoba Lie also spoke up, “Indeed, Jian Qingshan does have a slightly better chance.”

Meng Haiwen turned and glared at Tuoba Lie. Why are you adding to the chaos?

The Lord of Sea Moon City said with a smile, “There will naturally be winners and losers in a contest. In the end, it doesn’t really matter who wins or loses.”

“How can it not matter?” Meng Haiwen said, somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that as a citizen of Qing Nation, the Lord of Sea Moon City should be speaking up for Prince Yin Xinghe. How was it right to be so impartial?

The Lord of Sea Moon City wore a wry smile with a look of helplessness.

In fact, what the Lord of Sea Moon City had said was not wrong. No matter whether Ying Xinghe won or Jian Qingshan did, it wouldn’t affect their chances of advancing to the next stage of the Talent Battle.

Given the strength of both parties, they were absolutely capable of moving on to the next phase. Unless some unimaginable calamity occurred, this match at most would determine which of the two was slightly stronger.

Of course, for the two great Talents, who was stronger and who was weaker was also very important, as it concerned one’s honor.

Ying Xinghe, the Prince of Qing Nation, certainly needed no mention, for how could he afford to lose to a foreigner?

And Jian Qingshan was no different, being the number one Sword Tao talent of Tang Country. If he lost here, it would be a tremendous blow to the martial artists of Tang Country.

Both men ascended the array platform, sparking a wave of cheers from below. Even those who were not martial artists from Qing or Tang Nations joined in the cheering.

Ying Xinghe had an arrogant air about him, dressed in a black python robe, radiating an extraordinary presence.

Jian Qingshan’s countenance was gentle, dressed in simple blue attire, with a restrained aura.

“Brother Ying,” Jian Qingshan greeted with a clasped-hands salute.

Ying Xinghe, however, responded indifferently, not as courteously as Jian Qingshan.

Jian Qingshan didn’t mind and smiled, “Having the honor to battle with Brother Ying is a privilege for me. I hope Brother Ying will not hesitate to enlighten me.”

Ying Xinghe chuckled, “Since you want this prince to enlighten you, then I will not be polite.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ying Xinghe made his move, throwing a punch toward Jian Qingshan that howled through the air.

This punch was staggering in its might, with boundless Inner Strength concentrated in it, powerful enough to split mountains and cleave earth.

Jian Qingshan was no less vigilant. Using his finger as a sword, he simply pointed in thin air.
